For those not familiar with US criminal history, today is the anniversary of the St.Valentine's Day Massacre, in a garage on 2122 North Clark, in Chicago, Ill. Basically, Al Capone wanted to own all of the city's illegal trade, "Bugs" Moran stood in his way and could not be bought out. So, it was decided that when the main movers in the Moran organization gathered in the garage on Clark Street, men dressed as Chicago policemen, would enter, disarm those there, and two men, still unknown, supposedly from the West Coast, would enter, armed with Thompson Submachine Guns and kill all those there that were a part of the Moran gang. This was done and done to the extreme, as several men were almost cut in half. Unfortunately for Capone, Moran was not there. Another members was mistakenly taken for Moran. When asked about the killings, Moran was quoted as saying"only Capone kills like that". Capone was vacationing in Florida but did order flowers sent to the funeral locations of the deceased. The garage is gone, bought and sold by a man that thought selling the bricks, at a certain cost, was a good investment. Wrong. Some people started returning them, wanting a refund, complaining "the bricks" just didn't make folks feel right" in the house. No idea exactly what was meant by these and other comments. The lot next to where the garage once stood is supposedly very active in "paranormal" activity Few, if any locals, will even walk on that side of the street.Those that do, supposedly, feel a "sinister presence". The sounds of the firing of "rapid fire weapons"(possibly Thompson Submachine Guns) is often herd, esp. on this date.. along with more than usual "paranormal" activity. Happy Valentine's Day .

Some of our Chiefs believe the land belongs to them...
But that is not what The Great Spirit told me... He said No one owns the land, that the land belongs to him. We are just keepers of the land, for our children and for their childrens childen.

The Valentines day massacre was a very violent outpouring of emotion murderous intent, a split secon for the victims, a kind of 'Oh shit' moment when you know your last moment has come..
The fabric of the building does absorb the energy of that event and under certain circumstances the 'replay' of events may occur... It is not just buildings that absorb the energy, even the land.. The enrgy can last for a lot longer than 129 years... In the UK it is a common type of 'Haunting' to see Roman solfiers.. emerging thru walls and walking along old roman roads visible from the knees upwards as they are walking on the old road which is lower down.. Residual energy can last hundreds of years... and will replay if conditions are right..

So how long does a hauntnig last...?? It is pretty obvious that battle sites etc where there was massive loss of life and deep trauma, can still have activity for a very long time after the event.. Te activity might reoccur for eons.. Yet the particular battle might have only lasted an hour or two..
Remember having drummed into you as a school child 10666 Battle of Hastings.. That actually took place inland from hastings itself in the town called Battle now after that event.. It was not a massive battle as such and I was told by a guide when I visited that they think it only lasts a couple of hours.. Battle Abbey was built on that place to commemorate the skirmish..
The Abbey is on top of the hill and the battle took place down in the meadow sloping down.. About a 15 to 20 acre site. Yet the battle was fought by paid mercenaries on both side..

It was very bloody with hails of arrows from the english archers raining down on the raggle taggle army of French, Flemish and even Irish mercenaries.. It was not to gain froung there was nothing to gain it was fought until they could fight no more.. The land hold such energy that there are frequent 'Replays of sections of the battle.. I have been there an experienced this.. Same thing happens in Pennsylvania at Gettysburg... I have yet to go there...

So residual energy can remain..
Has anyone else had the chance to experience a 'Replay'..
